The Twin Cities Recorder Guild
(TCRG), based in Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota, is a chapter of
the American Recorder
Society. It is a non-profit organization with the goal of
supporting and encouraging recorder playing in our community. We
provide opportunities for members
to play together and to learn more about recorder playing, and we
share recorder and early music with the community through
performances, workshops, and a newsletter.

We have monthly meetings
(September - May) for recorder players of all ages and levels;
they include group playing, a presentation by our music director
or guest, socializing, and an opportunity to buy music and
instruments. For summer playing opportunities, check with the president. Members
occasionally organize sessions at various times over the summer.
Ask for your name to be included on the notification list.

Notice to school teachers: Members of TCRG
are available to come to your school and demonstrate recorders
of all sizes, answer questions, and play a variety of music in a
recorder ensemble. Contact Barbara
Aslakson (952-545-3178) or Jean
Allison Olson.

The Beginners' Group is led by Jean Allison Olson and is
open to anyone who is new to the recorder or wants to
review skills or learn a different size recorder. Please
tell us when you arrive if you want to take advantage of
this opportunity. The group meets for about an hour during
each meeting.

Small Group Formation

TCRG offers the opportunity to form small groups apart
from the regular meetings.
If you are interested, send your choice for type of
music and area preferred to the president.
